Oh dear, it seems that Nanny has found something else to moan to us about.
This time it seems that office workers must exercise for one hour a day to combat the deadly risk of modern working lifestyles, a major Lancet study has found.

Research on more than one million adults found that sitting for at least eight hours a day could increase the risk of premature death by up to 60 per cent.
Scientists said sedentary lifestyles were now posing as great a threat to public health as smoking, and were causing more deaths than obesity.

How about we just stop working in offices?

That seems to be the issue.

Ah but then we wouldn't be able to earn money to pay Nanny's taxes, and that she would never allow!

Forget Nanny's exhortations to study in failing schools for meaningless qualifications from fake "universities" in degrees that have no value, in order to acquire a minding numbing job in which to bust your arse to pay her taxes.

It's who you know, not what you know that will help you through your life!

I see that Brighton, once again, hits the headlines for being "ahead of the curve" for Nannying.

Nanny's chums at Brighton University have decided that sugar is evil, as such a 10p levy on sugary drinks sold by university outlets is being imposed.

Suffice to say the levy at the University of Brighton won the backing of Saint Jamie
of Oliver, as well as the students’ union’s own officers.

However, the students themselves are less than impressed.

Jeremy Gale (Brighton Students Against Sugar Tax) is quoted by the Telegraph:

"A regressive and punitive levy that will hurt the poorest students the most.The University’s income
has flourished despite a reduction in grants and a reliance on student
fees. Why, then, doesn’t the University re-invest a small percentage of
their bulging surplus into food education and healthy eating
initiatives, rather than relying on a regressive and punitive levy that
will hurt the poorest students the most?"

The University of Brighton is having none of it:

"Public Health England advise
that we should all cut down on the consumption of sugary drinks, which
offer little or no nutritional benefit. The Government has decided to implement a sugar tax from 2018.

Our 'Sugar Smart' campaign forms part of a broader programme to
promote healthy eating and lifestyles amongst our students. This
includes adding additional low and no-sugar products to the existing
range that we make available and providing cooking and nutrition advice
and education. Students will still have a choice over what they consume.

All of the money raised via the levy will be reinvested alongside
other resources in the wider healthy eating programme. Discussions on
this have been going on for over eight months. We have had positive
feedback from students, the Students' Union and staff who are keen to
work with us on the campaign."

A waste of time, as students will simply buy their sugared fizzy water from non university outlets!

"A swimming pool has introduced gender segregated sessions with bathers
required to cover up from "navel to knee" for "cultural reasons".

The Inspire Sports Village in Stopsley, Luton, Beds., built using
taxpayer-funded Olympic money, will give men exclusive access to the
larger 50 metre competitive pool on Friday evenings, while women will be
able to use the smaller 20 metre community pool.

On Facebook, the gender-segregated sessions were advertised saying "Alhamdulliah swimming is back" - a phrase which thanks God for his blessings."

I have no objection to private clubs having private sessions. However, this is not a private club it was funded by the taxpayers. As such, it should be accessible to all taxpayers during normal opening hours.

Those who follow Nanny's exaltations would be forgiven for believing that sport is a healthy activity that leads to all manner of life improving benefits (both mental and physical).

Yet, for the athletes heading to Rio for the Olympics, this appears not to be so. Aside from the risk of catching Zika and breathing Rio's heavily polluted air, the hapless healthy athlete also have to contend with massively polluted waterways and beaches.

As our colonial cousins across the pond ponder who to elect as President, a word to the wise.

Beware the media avoiding the key issues; namely the re-emergence of a cold war, and the very high risk of a nuclear confrontation brought about by a complete lack of trust on both sides.

Portraying Trump, the anti establishment candidate, as a Russian agent is all very nice for headlines but it does no one any service when it comes to resolving the highly dangerous situation that the world now faces.

Reagan, Thatcher (two people vilified by the liberal elite and the media) and Gorbachev ended the cold war. Now we face another far more dangerous cold war, egged on by the media and certain presidential candidates.

Nanny exercises control and stops the key issues being examined/debated, by stoking fear and dread; don't fall into her trap, ask the hard questions and demand that the issues be discussed.

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible

reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."
